    The 40 is gone and these parts need to go too! Scrap or Sell?

    The truck was sold 6 years ago but I've still got a few parts lying around. Could someone tell me whether these are worth listing or if they're just worthless junk? First off I've got a set of original gray door panels with these funky little metal tabs on the back. (Nice condition, no speaker...

    Back at it.. fresh plugs are already fouled!

    Hey guys, After my nightmare oil change I thought I was back in business. I had solved the gauge issue, replaced the plugs and she was idling beautifully until I took her out for a test drive. After the test drive, while she was still idling, it sounded a little rough. I figured I'd fiddle...

    Took my 40 in for an oil change, and now it's a MESS!

    Hey fellas! It's been a long long time since I posted here with any regularity. Hell it's been a while since I posted at all. My interests have wandered away from vintage Toyota's and for the past 5 years I've been riding and restoring vintage motorcycles. I bought my 82 FJ 40 about a decade ago...

    6-Speed Manual

    So I've been shopping for a new FJ for a while and due to my geographical location the 6 speed has been about as elusive as a unicorn. I've test driven a couple automatics and liked them, but I wanted to be sure before I bought one. I test drove a 6 speed 2011 Tacoma and really liked the feel of...

    Transmittion Leak

    I guess it's about time something went wrong... I've enjoyed an entire season of problem free driving so today I've sprung a leak in my transmission line. There's no pressure in the system and the leak appears to be around what I think is the slave cylinder. It's coming out of from behind a boot...

    Tuning My Aisan

    I've got my carb tuned to the point where she fires up immediately first thing in the morning. I simply pump the gas twice, pull the choke and turn the key. It's instantaneous. But when starting her after she's warmed up, I have to hold the key in the start position for 5-10 seconds before she...

    Spark Plug Gapping

    I just got a set of NGK plugs for my 40 and was planning on installing them this afternoon. My owners manual states that for NGK plugs the required gap is .031. My gapping tool has about a hundred blades but goes from .032 to .030. Anyone wanna weigh in on how precise this has to be or if I...

    Pin Pointing Vibration

    I've noticed that I'm getting some vibration (rattling) between say 25-35MPH. Above 35 it really smooths out nicely and below I'm not noticing it either. I'm trying to decide whether the vibration is more heard or felt... If you know what I mean... At this point, I'm thinking it's a little bit...

    Replacement Seatbelts

    I ordered a set of CCOT's replacement seatbelts a few weeks back to replace my original worn out belts. The belt portion was almost identical aside from being black instead of gray but the buckle part that mounts to the floor was completely different. It was housed in a flat plastic sleeve and...

    Power Steering Pump Removal

    So I've looked through the other posts on this and can't find a real detailed removal thread on the PS Pump. The problem seems to be with the rear bolt being too long to come out without removing part of the exhaust. So removing the entire PS Pump/Smog bracket to get the bolt out. I removed at...

    "Old Faithful" My PS PUMP... PICS

    Round two trying to get this figured out... My relatively new to me '82 FJ40 with a supposed brand new PS Pump is spurting fluid like the Yellowstone park attraction... except no one is impressed.. The weak point appears in these photos below. It's coming from the bolt at the bottom of...

    Power Steering Mystery

    So about a month ago my power steering went while driving and upon inspection the source was a bolt directly beneath the TOYODA reservoir. I ran the bolt out and back in with a bit more torque and refilled the system and she's worked just fine ever since. So yesterday it went again and when it...

    Loose Front Wheel Bearing?

    Dropped the 40 off this morning at the garage for its inspection and just got a call to inform me that the front wheel bearing is loose.. He thinks he can adjust it but asked me if I knew anything about the gasket in there. Answer. No. Is this something that is going to need to be replaced or...

    Front Door Allignment? Is it possible?

    So I've wrestled with these things a while and still can't get a great seal all the way around. There's a small gap at the front which gets very loud at speed and another gap in the rear that I can get a few fingers in. (for everyone with minds like mine. haha yeah I know that was funny)...

    New Ignition Cylinder Install

    So my old ignition cylinder went and today I received my replacement from Toyota. I'll be installing it after work and was wondering if there are any tricks or issues I should be ready for. Thanks!

    Introduction

    Hello all! As this is my first post on the forum I thought I'd introduce myself a little. I'm decently new to the world of the 40.. I've wanted one for over 10 years but only recently acquired my first rig.. I had a 60 back in High School that was a down right gorgeous truck. Bought her off a...
